TASTE OF PAKISTANI POWER....#MirMak Chapter 12. Excerpts From My Autobiography

TASTE OF PAKISTANI POWER....#MirMak Chapter 12. Excerpts From My Autobiography The Night Zardari And His Front Man And Friend Sent 23 Policemen Jumping Over The Wall Into My Home At 2;30 A.M. I wasa fast asleep in my bed. My two young boys were in their bed and my parents in their own. All of a sudden I heard some loud noises and immediately after I heard a gun shot. I knew what was happening. Just yesterday I was threatened by Asif Ali Zardari’s best friend and his Arab front man Aref Zarooni, who was also my friend for 19 years. He was more than a friend he was my brother. I saved his life from suicide when he had crashed his car into a wall out of family problems. I was there when his family did not want to see him but I stayed with him at the hospital and when he was released I took him to The Cheddi Resort in Oman for 15 days so I can talk sense into him. I had even taken my 4000 yard mansion like house in Dubai in his name. That was the level of trust I had in him. He took over that house as well and lives in it proudly with his family in Barsha, Dubai. He was my partner in my businesses in London, Milan, Dubai and Paris. A silent partner who never came to the office even once. He was working as an advisor to the Makhtoom family, the Rulers Of Dubai. Zardari and him were the best of friends. He would be taking care of all his real estate affairs in Dubai. I never asked what he did for Zardari but I had an idea that he was building towers in Dubai on Zardaris behalf. Sharjeel Inam Memon, Mukesh Chawla, Tappi and many others reported to him for matters unbeknownst to me. When they would talk I would walk out of the room. I had started to build upon an idea I had for a financial network connecting 38 countries, all investment banks, all brokerage houses and all exchanges around the world plus creating a social network element in it with advisors from around the world servicing clients anywhere in the world. And much more to it there was then this simple explanation. 29 years of capital markets experience had gone into it and two decades of international relations were involved in developing this massive innovation that was ready to revolutionize the financial world. Teams from 7 different countries were working on it. During this time, after serving 23 years, Aref Zarooni was questioned by the Dubai Ruling Family for embezzlement of money and also for laundering cash in Sheikhs plane of Pakistani politicians to Dubai. Sheikh stripped him of his powers, put 4 cases against him and took everything that he owned from him. During this same time, we found an international Venture Capitalist who independently got our company valuated at $80 million dollars. And this was the first valuation and they wanted to invest $8 million and buy 10% of the company. This is where the problem began. Forgetting my two decades of relationship with him, Aref threatened me to sign over the entire company to him. I refused. The moment he came to know that this first valuation of $80 million can be a few hundred million in a few years, his NIYYAT (Intention) was tainted. He brought 9 policemen into my office with guns, held my staff at gun point and brought transfer papers all prepared for me to sign. I refused. He put a gun to my head. I replied kill me but I will not because had you once asked me nicely, I would have given you my life. I was there for you for decades. You drove my Ferraris and Porsches in Dubai and kept them for months at a time and I never said a word. You went into depression I left everything to take care of you for months at a time. I will let this company burn to the ground before I hand it over under pressure. He left and called me an hour later saying, I have spoken to AZ (Asif Zardari) and I have his full blessing and now YOU WILL sign whatever I want you to sign. I took an ISTEKHARA and it came out in my favour. I had lost everything in 1999, over a $150 million valuation bank at 34 years of age. $80 million sounded like nothing when it came to the principle. The same night when the gun shot rang, I immediately took out my pistol that is always next to my bed, rushed out to the balcony and I saw a war like situation on my lawn and in my car porch. About 23 poliemen and some in civilian clothes with their faces covered with cloths surrounded by my Rangers Guards with their guns drawn. Those guys had never expected that I would have Rangers Guards in my house because they were instated just a week ago. My mother and my children came out onto the balcony, my gun pointing at a civilian clothed policeman and I shouted, you are a civilian and you are in my house with your face covered, I have six of my people here as witnesses, I am about to shoot you because I think that you are a robber. I shot one warning shot right next to his foot. Immediately the face cloth came of and he showed me his police belt. One cop screamed that you sign this paper and we will leave. While I was talking to them from the balcony and the house doors were locked from inside, I stepped back a few feet, called the Rangers HQ and they dispatched 5 mobiles from DHA area. I came out and informed them. Sirens could be heard from far away and these guys rushed out of my house after hearing the sirens blazing. WE together with the Rangers went to the Darakshan Police station to file a case and they refused after hearing the names involved. Instead they took a simple application and gave us the reciving. The next morning I went to the Rangers HG opposite The PC and met The DIG Rangers and The General himself. Lodged a complaint and brought it on the record. From there I went to hire the best lawyer of Pakistan, Ilyas Khan who had tried Nawaz Shareef in 1999, discussed the matter with him and we filed a case in the High Court which ordered the Police Station to take down the report. It took 2 years and 4 months of me living under the threats. And the judgment came in my favour last week. Just last week. Calls of threats. Letters of threats. Friends of friends telling me to drop the case but I did not. We lost the company that was interested in investing thus we lost an $80 million dollar valuation that could have been a few hundred million dollars within two years. During this whole time, I kept a smile on my face. You saw me writing motivational articles for you guys, giving speeches on how to be strong and resilient. On how never to compromise on your principles no matter what amount of money is involved. Everyday when I leave my home, I walk away thinking I may not come back but I leave with pride because if I have to go defending my principle, what better way would there be to go. By standing against some tyrants. Just like my Mola Hussain did. I preach what I live. My strength comes from being positive and belief in Allah. No man on earth is more powerful than Allah Up their. After this release of the excerpts from the upcoming book, I expect hell to break lose but I worry about no hell when Allah is protecting me from heaven.

What A Shame As A Nation We Faced Today. #MirMak

What A Shame As A Nation We Faced Today. #MirMak From morning till night all day long, today we heard nothing but praises for Multan Metro. Every channel was covering it like we established world peace singlehandedly. And today we also successfully tested the best missile in the history of Pakistan. ABABEEL Missile with a range of 2200 kilometres. Yet this news received almost no coverage. A bus service is more important than a national achievement, a missile system, to deter our enemies from attacking innocent Pakistani lives ? Then we wonder why our institutions are fighting with one another.

Israel Announces 2500 New Homes In Palestinian Territories Right After Trump Assumes Office. #MirMak

Israel Announces 2500 New Homes In Palestinian Territories Right After Trump Assumes Office. #MirMak Welcome to the new world order. The Trump world order. United Nations stopped Israel from building any new homes on Palestinian land but Netanyahu announces new homes without a care in the world a day after Trump assumes office. Polarisation has started outside America, and we were expecting it inside America. And Saudi Arabia supports Israel in an open bid by establishing diplomatic ties. What Ummah do we talk of ?

Forget Your Ambition. Create A Passion. #MirMak

Forget Your Ambition. Create A Passion. #MirMak Walk out of your house, close your eyes, extend your arm and the first person you touch, ask them this question. "You want to make a million dollars ?" And the answer, undoubtedly, every time will be a yes. Now ask that same person, what is your plan to make a million dollars. And mostly you will find people baffled by your 2nd question. Why ? Because ambition is nothing but a "Want". It is easier to have ambition. It takes no effort to have an ambition. It sounds great and makes you look important in other people's eyes as well. People call you AMBITIOUS. Very nice sounding word "Ambitious".. Isnt it ? Even your parents will be proud of you when someone calls you ambitious in front of them. In actuality, ambition is nothing but a want without a plan. The easiest thing in the world is to declare your ambition in public. Most of the people do it to impress others and to make their own self worth increase in their eyes. People who have a plan do not have time to sit and discuss their plans in public. They do not have time even for discussion and even if they did discuss, what benefit will they get from it ? So, Ambition is just a want to have something. Passion on the other hand means you will go and get what you want at any cost, at the cost of hard work, at the cost of acquisition of knowledge and skills, at the cost of others standing in your way..At the cost of fighting negativity..you name it, and you will do it when you are passionate about something in life. Passion is actually having such belief in what you love to do that even the biggest of obstacle can not stand in your way. The problem with the youth around the world is that they keep changing their ambition from time to time. They spend their life chasing ambition instead of creating passion. If the Technology field is "In" season, they develop ambition to become a techy without ever asking themselves if they even like what they are chasing after. Thus becoming an average TECHY and hating what they do, in most cases or in others, forcing themselves to like what they do. They end up spending their entire life, "Making A Living" instead of progressing in what they do. They may get promoted with experience but they will never be leaders who create and lead ideas. Passion is to human mind, what water is to a fish. One of the greatest humans ever to inhabit this earth, Albert Einstien, once said " I have no special talent, i am just passionately curious".... What a statement that is. If you look deeper, the man has described the recipe of success as passion. Passion accompanied by all the other relevant traits, such as positivity, resilience, tenacity, optimism, and Belief In Allah, will guide you through life like the wind guides the sails in the ocean. You do not see the wind but it takes you to your desired destination, even across the longest of oceans. Life is an ocean. Let the winds of passion take you across. Never forget that in order to achieve something great, you require greater effort than others. Keep pushing yourself for excellence. Never stop to even bother. Create that focus in yourself. Find your passion in life and stick to it. If you want to do something do it with passion or walk away from it, altogether.

Being A Good Person Is A Learned Behaviour...#MirMak

Being A Good Person Is A Learned Behaviour...#MirMak You want others to look at you with kindness in their eyes, look for goodness in everyone through your eyes first. You want others to speak good about you, start to use your own lips to talk good about others. You do not want others to hear evil about you, stop believing in rumors about others. Give, and give in abundance to others what you want for yourself. Give even if you know you will get nothing in return. Exhale goodness first and soon you will begin to inhale goodness. Being a good person has nothing to do with your religion, your nationality, your color, your social status or your political views, it has only to do with who you are inside. If you do not respect who you are, you will not respect others. If you do not believe you are decent, you will think others are indecent as well. Once you begin to look for faults in others, you will have no time left to correct your own faults. And correcting your own faults is the beginning of becoming a better person. Yes, i said "Becoming", which implies that goodness is not from birth but it is a choice. Goodness begins with a belief and ends with behaviour. If you believe that you are a good person then the hard work begins. You have to turn that belief into a behaviour. And the road from belief to behaviour is the road less traveled because it is a road full of hurdles without any immediate results. It requires patience, it requires resilience, it requires positivity and it requires thankfulness. It also requires a desire to become a better person. And all desires require a learning process to shape it into reality. And reality is first for yourself and then for others. So becoming or learning to become a good person is not to get praised by others, it is for your own self first. Becoming a gentle friend, becoming a good son, a good brother a good sister, a mentor to others, speaking positive even when surrounded by negativity, not reacting to anger even when you are absolutely right, all these things benefit you as a person before they benefit others. It will not matter when you are 90 years old as to how famous of a life you have lived. How many deals you have closed. How many people you have employed. What will matter is what kind of deals you have closed, have they benefited others ? The people you employed have you treated them with kindness ? How humble you were if Allah had given you fame and power ? At the end, someone else will take your place. You will be forgotten within a few decades if not a few years. Your great-great grand children will not even know your name in most cases. But what will matter is, how much you loved others while you lived. How gentle and kind you were when you dealt with others. And how gracefully you let go of the things that were not in your control and smiled instead of being irritated. And all these things can be learned with a WILL and with TIME.

How I Fired My First Employee...#MirMak

How I Fired My First Employee...#MirMak He was a young ambitious man. Full of dreams and aspirations. He wanted to make it big in his life but deep down inside he was afraid to take the risks. He wanted sureties in life but life offered none. His parents were the only support system for him while others put doubts in his minds about accomplishing what he wanted to accomplish. He was just 22 and was working for the world's largest financial services company at that time, The Prudential Financial Services. He was making a cozy salary plus commission on sales and at that tender age of 22, it was coming out to about $63,000 a year. A basic salary of $28,000 a year plus the rest in commissions. That was more than enough to support himself and give back to his parents. But it was not the money, it was his dream of working on Wall Street in the capital markets. But working in capital markets offered no salary. It was just a commission job. And to let go off the comfort of a salary was extremely difficult and an enormously risky move as well. Some would even call it an outright madness to let go off a guaranteed salary in return for chasing a dream of making it big without any guarantees. He would think day and night about this. Every person he consulted told him not to make such a move. He was told repeatedly that such a good employment would never come again. He was getting more confused day by day. He went for a few interdepartmental interviews within The Prudential to move from Estate Planning Division where he was working at to stock brokerage division on Wall Street but again he was told there would be no salary. Wall Street, he was told is a place for people with an entrepreneurial mindset. For people who believe in themselves. For people who are not looking for a comfort of a salary but have the courage to earn according to their performance. Specially in the field of stock brokerage. Wall Street in today's terminology would be an incubation center where people were the startups and their courage was their product, their belief in themselves was their marketing department, their self discipline was the administration department, and working 18 hours a day would be their revenue model. This sounded more like an entrepreneurial journey than an employment. But Wall Street he thought was all about just walking in the first day and making millions the next day. Reality was different. Absolutely different. It was not about a cozy environment. It was not about having doubts about yourself. It was the survival of the fittest. It was like swimming with the sharks. It was like starting his own business. And to start his own business at the age of 22 leaving the comfort of a huge salary was nothing but a disastrous move in the eyes of many. He needed to decide to either be an entrepreneur without any guarantees of the future or to be an employee with the guarantee of a salary but with the death of his dreams. He realized that he could only learn to swim by jumping into the pool. He realized that he would have to fire the employee within him who wants guarantees. He realized that until the FIRST EMPLOYEE within him, himself, is not fired he could never pursue his dreams. That first employee was Mir Mohammad Alikhan and Mir Mohammad Alikhan fired him without thinking twice. And that was the best move he ever made in his life.

Even The TOUGHEST OF PAIN Is Your Training To Appreciate PLEASURE..#MirMak

Even The TOUGHEST OF PAIN Is Your Training To Appreciate PLEASURE..#MirMak Just like you can never be a soldier without going through a boot camp training... You can never become a person who completely appreciates the pleasures of life unless you have felt the pains of life as well. Even a General has to go through his initial boot camp training. Life has the same boot camp training..its called pain. Without learning to cope with pain you can never develop tolerance, appreciation, endurance, tenacity, resilience and a million other qualities that a successful person must have. Boot Camps are temporary...And so is pain. But while it is happening, it may seem like it will break you into pieces. Well, that is the idea. Let it try to break you.. because it can not. It can never break you..never. It may seem like it is about to break you every second while you are going through it but it will not because human endurance is much stronger than wordly pain. Worldly pain is no match for your god gifted tenacity. So in actuality the pain is a test for you to show your belief in your God instead of bowing down to the World. The best tool you can use while you are facing a painful situation..Any painful situation is to exercise patience and positivity. Both patience and positivity are the instructions given to you by ALLAH SWT in times of pain. It is HE who has repeatedly said that 'I am with the ones who have Patience"..and secondly, you need positivity because it is HE who has declared the opposite of positivity, which is MAAYOOSI..a sin. So how could you not win against pain when your creator has given you a PERFECT solution in advance as o how to handle pain. And after every painful situation and after you have followed ALLAH's instructions while in pain.. you will be rewarded by pleasure. Your pain of today is your strength of tomorrow...Always remember that. So be happy and optimistic when in pain that Allah has chosen you to train you for future strength. And Allah only chooses to train someone for the future whom he chooses to get big things one by. So if he has chosen to put you in a boot camp of life..it means that your future is great... He has already planned to use your abilities to get something great done by you, for yourself and for the greater benefit of humanity. This is what i have learned practically after having gone through pain of the highest order. Where could i have gathered the wisdom to write even two words of encouragement for you if he had not chosen me to go through years of pain. I thank him every moment of my life to have chosen me to inject doses of positivity, Belief, and all the other things into my fellow Pakistanis. My Boot Camp was America and other countries, My Battle Ground was to be Pakistan and i did not even know that. It was all his planning that i sit in front of my laptop and write articles for you. I am the happiest i have ever been. Yes i still go through pain..but i have my belief so strong that i smile when pain even tries to creep into my direction. Because i know.. I will have pleasure coming into my life if pain is walking in my direction. Just like clouds come before rain, Pain comes before pleasure. Its a heavenly sign that pleasure is about to show up in your life..whenever pain is showing up in your life. Patience and belief will take you intro the land of pleasure, while you are facing pain. Pain is just like a bad patch on the highway of pleasure. Nothing more. So hold on to your steering wheel..Keep driving..drive over the bumps with patience and total control of the vehicle of your life and keep your eyes on the highway of life, you are driving towards good times.

On A Lighter Note: #MirMak

On A Lighter Note: #MirMak A man receives a message from his neighbor. " Sorry sir that i have been using your WIFE every time that you are not home. As a matter of fact, i only use your wife in your absence due to the fear of getting caught, never when you are home. But today i feel very guilty and i finally wanted to Confess and Come clean . I hope you accept my apology." Man has a heart attack and drops on the floor. He immediately receives another message from the same neighbor..... " Sorry sir, Typo. I meant to say your "WiFi"... Not your "WIFE"....

Keep Moving Through Your Pain..#MirMak

Keep Moving Through Your Pain..#MirMak Everything i know today i know because i did not give up in my worst periods of pain. The pain you go through is temporary no matter how prolonged it seems while you are going through it. But if you quit while you are facing problems, then the pain of quitting will last forever. It will make you into a bitter person. It will turn your willpower into a defeating attitude forever. Once you get your mind used to quitting, every time a problem comes your mind will suggest for you to quit. It will convince you to quit. It will give you logical reasons to quit and once you get used to quitting, you will only feel good in quitting and you will give a million reasons to others that why you quit. You will blame the government, the society, the people who put hurdles in your way, your socioeconomic background, heck, you will even find a way to blame the pollution in your city for you giving up. And the next step will be that you will become such a negative person that you will encourage others to quit while facing problems. You will not out rightly tell them to quit because you do not want to look bad in front of them but you will discourage them in a million different ways in subtle manners. How many of you know people like this in your life ? Almost all of us do. Face your pain and keep moving it will make you stronger. Face your fear and keep moving it will make you braver. Face your failures and keep moving it will make you successful. Face your disappointments and keep moving it will make you wiser. The secret of all of this is in the words "Keep Moving". Keep moving because life is in motion and for you to go with life you have to be in motion as well. You can not be standing still while time moves on. You will be left behind. You will be broken forever. Its ok to break but its not ok to stay broken. There is no glory in pain. There is no triumph in difficulties but there is no triumph and glory without going through pain and difficulties either. When the fire inside you to keep moving through your pain and succeed is higher than the fire outside you which is trying to burn you down, you will move through pain with ease and come out a winner. Create endurance in you. Create endurance in your mind more than your body because your body can go through any level of pain. Its your mind that gives up easily not your body. So become stronger. Become resilient. Become tough. Become focused. Become positive. Become fearless. Become thankful during painful times. Become a believer in "HIS" mercy. And once you become all of the above during your painful times, you will become what Allah intends for you to become.....SUCCESSFUL.

How Driving A Taxi Prepared Me To Run An Investment Bank... ‪#MirMak

How Driving A Taxi Prepared Me To Run An Investment Bank... ‪#MirMak (Yes Its A Long Article, but If you are young and want to change yourself to prepare for success, I suggest you read it.) Reposted From My LinkedIn Articles. If something in life does not challenge your inner self, it will not change your life outwardly. Success comes when your inner ego breaks into pieces. The " I " in you has to shatter before you rebuild your new you. Its like a wall of bricks, each brick put together in totality makes an entire wall. Consider your character made up of bricks. Each habit, each trait you develop consciously or unconsciously over your lifetime from birth makes you who you are. You walk a certain way. you talk a certain way, you think in a particular manner, your likes your dislikes, your approach towards life, your thought process towards a certain situation...they are all like individual bricks, when put together, they make a wall of your personality called " I " or "ME"... And this I or ME is not by conscious effort that it has been developed. You look at other people and learn subconsciously, you witness events in life and you unknowingly develop a liking and start reacting a certain way towards those events when they appear in your life. You have no choice as to where each brick should have been placed, the wall of your personality Just developed over a period of time and you inherited it. You like it or not, It has become you. If each brick is considered a habit, for example, confidence is one brick, laziness is another, positivity is another, optimism is another, and all bricks together make your personality. But you dont have a choice by the time you are in your late teenage years, to rearrange the bricks as per your liking. Maybe you want to have more bricks of confidence in your wall of personality, you cant add or delete a brick because if you try to, then the entire wall will come trembling down. THEN Comes a time in your life when you know that the wall is about to break down and all the bricks will be falling before your eyes. It will be the most scariest event in your life and the most beneficial if you handle it right. Because now you can rebuild the life as per your liking. Take out the bricks of negativity and pessimism or the bricks of fear and impatience and replace them all with the bricks of your liking. But it scares you when you know that the wall will break down soon and you dont know how many ugly bricks of your personality will appear that you will not like. And the process of rebuilding the wall will be the most painful process you have ever gone through. My wall of personality was shaken when i landed in America and my first job as a teenager was to Mop floors and wash bathrooms at Burger King on Easton Ave, Somerset, New Jersey. I had so many bricks of ego. My entire wall was bricks of ego, pride, thinking of myself highly, considering mopping floors a derogatory job and everything else you can think of. I had two choices, either not to do it and keep looking for another job making excuses or rise to the occasion and break the wall quicker so i can rebuild it quicker. The thoughts that would come to my mind were many, A person with my family background will wash bathrooms and mop floors ? " I " Mir Mohammad Alikhan will be seen with a mop in my hands cleaning floors at a restaurant ? But when I decided that as a student i will do everything that all others do in America. I will blend in. Leave my old habits aside. Will have no ego. Will work harder than even the Americans. All of a sudden the wall started to break and there were so many bricks in my wall of personality that i did not like or know that they were there. Then began the process of rearranging the entire brick formation and rebuild the wall one brick at a time. But at least this time around i began to put the bricks in places that i wanted in my personality. positivity, optimism, humility, confidence, pleasantness, and whatever else i wanted. I realized that very soon this process will become my past and it will be the most beneficial thing i would have ever done for myself. Because past is where you learn your lessons, future is where you apply them and its the middle where you should not give up. Then came a time when i started driving a taxi in summer time. Taking passengers from all over somerset county to Newark airport. Every time without fail i would get a different personality of people. Angry, pissed off, talkative, happy, pessimist, overly confident, you name it and i would have to deal with them. Never could i have guessed what the next passenger will be like. I started having a conversation with each passenger. I would drive the cab for 16 hours a day, from 7am till 11pm at night. Seven days a week trying to save up for my next semester's fee. I realized that all my hardships were coming from outside but if i failed, my failure will only come from inside because i gave up. I decided never to give up. I started to learn from such diversified group of people with such varied personalities. It developed an interest in me for human behaviour which till this day i am fascinated with the subject. Learning about situations, personalities, events and many many more things from my dear teachers, my passengers, prepared me for Wall Street. yes, driving a taxi prepared me for success. Wall Street is the same, you never know the next move of the market, if its in a good mood, bad mood, confused or whatever. The same is with the clients. you never know what he is thinking. You never know if the deal will work out or not. You have to leave your ego aside and deal with every situation at its own merit. Without pre-proposed expectations. Be ready for anything. Any Hardship. Use the new arrangements of your personality wall of bricks to your advantage. No point in stressing over something you cant change, rather, change yourself and grow stronger. People say you only live once. They are wrong. Very wrong. You live everyday. You only die once. So live everyday and get closer to your dreams. Live your dreams. Dont let your dreams die before you. Your death should come before your dream's death. Thats called die trying. And thats the only thing you have in your favour, trying. All the hardships of today will look easy if you believe in your deepest part of your subconscious that tomorrow will be a better day.

Yeh Hai Jinnah Ka Pakistan.  My Message To Pakistan On QUAD E AZAMs Birthday. The Same Message I Gave On The 14th August To All Pakistanis. #MirMak.

[mirmohammadalikhan-blog]

China Would Win If Trump Started An Economic War....#MirMak Campaign rhetoric and actually running a country are two different things. Specially when it comes to economies. How many times have we not seen hopeful Presidential candidates promise something on their campaign trail and take an absolute u-turn when they got into power. Because campaigns are run on perception. A perception is created that a candidate can change the reality. Voters buy that promise of the candidate being able to change the reality but reality is not changed based on perceptions, its the other way around. Trump promised to turn China upside down on its head when it comes to dealing with it economically. People got excited, hoped for new jobs, increase in exports, decrease in Chinese imports, more jobs for the Americans, tougher import tariffs, stronger Chinese currency, reduction in Chinese global economic dominance, you name it and Trump promised it. Could he deliver ? Not even in a billion years. And this is why. None of the above promises have anything to do with making the lives of average middle class Americans better. An average American does not even understand how economies are run. They are mostly concerned with their taxes, healthcare benefits and vacation to the Caribbean islands. They do not understand that there is fundamental flaw in the American economic structure. American economy has grown based on its global power dominance. Not because of its superior quality of products or lower prices but rather it was a status symbol to but a Cadillac 40 years ago or to buy an iPhone today. But Cadillac has been replaced with Mercedes or Lexus and iPhone are being manufactured outside America. Trump promised to impose a 45% tariff on Chinese imports. Really ? Did he not think for a second that China would also react with an iron fist. Firstly in the areas of education and tourism where Chinese students and travelers added a surplus of $28 billion dollars to the American industry. $28 billion is the surplus, the amount spent by Chinese in these two areas alone comes to hundreds of billions. Secondly one of the biggest areas of income for Hollywood is Chinese markets. The $200 billion a year industry can hit a brick wall if Chinese put a ban on American movies. Ralph Lauren, to Tommy Hilfiger to Tesla motors to whatnot, everything American would come under attack by the 1.4 billion consumers of China. Forget about Google and Microsoft or Oracle or Disney or GE or the food exporters of America. Currency war, where America has repeatedly accused China of keeping its currency weak is nothing but a hollow threat. If China ever got serious and retaliated against America by beginning to sell $1.2 Trillion dollars of the American bonds it hold or $600 billion dollars of stocks that it holds, American economy would never recover and it will not make any difference to China even if they liquidated every penny of it. Before China could even think of imposing economic pressure on China, according to its own American law, China has to violate 3 conditions, 1. Bilateral trade surplus with America. 2. Material current account surplus above 3% of the GDP 3. Continuous manipulation by China of its currency. These three things are not being violated by China, maybe one of them is but not all 3. So no power in the world can take any action, specially on the economic front when it comes to China. China is an economic reality that Americans are finding hard to accept and a reality so big that it will only get bigger. Instead of fighting an economic war that Chinese are great at and Americans are not, Trump only has a Choice of biting his tongue and making friends with China because Chinese leaders do not have to lie during their campaign trail, Chinese have no campaigning, thus they dont have to lie, they are only focused on delivering and that they have. So Mr. Trump, your bluff is called even before you came into power. God bless American political candidates and their habit of misleading innocent voters.
